Let’s face it at the low limits we are mostly talking about online play.

[/ QUOTE ]

a couple people have mentioned this.....and certainly you cannot find live $.25/.50 NL games being spread at casinos (at least not to my knowledge)......however, the low-buyin $1/$2-ish NL games being spread all over the place are incredibly popular......

I remember when I lived in Vegas I one time went to the Riviera to see a comedy show....I swung by their "poker room", which was two tables of $1/$2 NL 200-max buy in - it looked like the best poker game I'd ever seen......there were more beer bottles on the table than chips, and I must've seen 3 preflop all-ins in the 5 or so hands I watched......

another time when my dad came to visit me, we played in the Wynn's uncapped 1/3 NL game - off the hook action.....the Bellagio game was already mentioned earlier in this thread.....Commerce spreads a ton of low-stakes NL games that feature crazy action.....the 1/2 NL game here at Harrah's New Orleans always looks totally bumpin'.....a month ago I went to St. Louis to watch the Mets play the Cardinals, and my buddy and I went to some riverboat casino.....the poker room had only 4/8 limit, so we convinced the guy to start a list for 1/2 NL - within half an hour we had a full table and a waiting list.....

it's amazing, two years ago you could never find games like this being spread at casinos and now they're all the rage......

Defending yourself against Ed's short-stacked strategy when you are also playing deep against a few opponents.

Hi Sunny and Matt,

I'd like to see some thoughts on balancing your play, esp since El Diablo was reluctant to comment on it.

Quizzes at the end of each chapter would be good.

Also, situations suited for the stop 'n go.

Lots of good suggestions here. I'd like a discussion the concept of my table image influence on the play of a hand.
How this impacts my ability to get a paid off or steal.

Authors opinion of how often my opponents are actually paying attention and I can use this vs. just optimal play at SSNL. FE discussion in this light as well.

Specific example same board/same hand when I'm LAG (or apparently LAG) vs TAG.
Same hands situation when I hit and when I don't.

Also, same hand vs. different opponent LAG/Tricky.

I second the call for scenarios, specific examples for when to change gears.

Come to think of it, just PM me above and leave it out of the book [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

some things that no book has rly touched on

6 max play

detailed discussion on check raising

playing tptk/overpair hands oop v agression on drawwy boards is probably the thing i personally have the most trouble with, TOP suggest folding is the best option because the semi bluff is so powerful but this has to be giving up a lot of value.

- treat short-hand and full-ring as equally important (instead of a 4 page appendix "adjustments in short-handed play")

- how to extract maximum value from your very strong hands (I am frequently disappointed with the amount of $ won and wondering how I could have gotten more out of it)

- how to play overpairs (on all streets) in raised/re-raised pots if you have to consider that your opponent could have hit a set. In other words how to extract maximum value while not losing your stack when indeed villain has a set)
